Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lightning strike in Muurame, Central Finland, 22.6.2021 @ midnight @ 240 fps. I was admiring a rising thunderstrom from the window in my bed. I wondered what would a lightning strike look like in 240fps slow-motion video. After around 5 minutes of filming I caught this beautiful lightning striking the ground behind the forests.
